Moto z2 force with Hasselblad true zoom
1

I went for a walk the other morning, and saw full moon. First shot is normal, second one zoomed full, third one is cropped. I set exposure manually on the zoomed image..

Phone is getting a bit old, but is still a lot of fun.

Re: Moto z2 force with Hasselblad true zoom

Is this what you took the picture on?

At first I thought this was from phone, and I was like no way, that's hella good picture for a smartphone. Even I with 5x optical smartphone have to use a tele conversion lens to achieve anything this good but even then your pic is still amazing compared to what I have taken before.

Anyways I'm glad you shared this, this is quite cool concept and I didn't know existed.

Jack,

Yes, that is what it is. It's a neat concept. When you attach it to the phone, it is instantly paired and ready to shoot. The closest thing I ever had to this was a Samsung S4 Zoom phone:

Fantastic pictures still.

Just for comparisons, here are pictures from the Moto Edge 20 Pro (last year's model) which I took recently, together with the Nikon TC-E3ED 3x teleconverter, even then I would say your phone from 2017 still stands well.

5x optical + 3x TC

10x digital + 3x TC

That's pretty impressive. So, you just hold the TC over your phone lens?

I use a set up like this, had to go through 3 adapters to find an adapter that worked well.

Looks good. A lot bulkier than my "Hassey" though...

Definitely, that's why I am impress for a 2017 model, and I never heard about it. Glad you shared.
